RESUMO
Band-Aids have been widely used for wound care. For most adhesive bandages, however, they have a limited capacity to speed up the wound healing process, which in turn may cause serious wound infections. In this study, antibacterial Band-Aids, combining porphyrin-based porous organic polymers (POPs) with commercial antibiotic-free Band-Aids, are designed. Under white light irradiation, POPs can produce effective photothermal heat, as well as highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby triggering the potent hyperthermia and simultaneous ROS increase on wounds. Additionally, white light is similar to sunlight, which makes POP-based Band-Aids (PBAs) ideal wound dressings for wound disinfection.
